Many MSc-thesis requests: supervisors wanted

It is very encouraging to see the big student interest in doing a MSc-thesis in the CSE area. The students invest around 125 man-years of academic work in this "course" every year and the MSc-thesis supervision brings in around 6M SEK per year to the department. Currently we have a queue of more than ten proposed thesis projects and more are coming in as you read this so, please, take your share of the supervision. From 080101 Erland Holmström is the central CSE-contact for the MSc theses work and he will have one MSc subject representative for each of the six MSc-programmes to help managing the "CSE MSc thesis course". But, as always, they depend on you all to allocate time for thesis supervision. Thanks in advance, Patrik
